THE COTTAGE AND LAKE

My son Guy called last night after half past ten when i had finished work ,  he wanted and requested would  Helen do him a reading not sure why but he was keen and even wanted to pay so Helen agreed she was skeptic as to why he wanted one doing  but in the end agreed to do him one.
He seemed genuinely pleased after his reading which took well over a hour , after i let him take me out in my 4X4 he passed  his driving test a few weeks ago and his driving was fine .

This afternoon we went to look at a cottage on the outskirts of Holmfirth we are on a narrow road with other  houses so it is not totally isolated behind us are fields and grass land  and even a small lake for picnics .
The cottage is more or less one up one down it has a proper Yorkshire slate roof and exposed ceiling rafters in the living room and bedroom.

The bathroom and shower is en suite seeing as there is only the one  bedroom it have to be it is gas central heated and double glazed the is a spot of damp in the living room which is getting fixed it as a fridge freezer cooker and hob and washing machine in the kitchen living room.
I t will be very easy to keep clean and to heat in winter we have agreed to pay a bond next week and should get the keys on Thursday we should have a week before we move out of this house , we both cant wait .

Below is the bedroom with views of fields and grassland so much better than a bus shelter that we have now on the road we will be living on has no buses on it.

Below is the kitchen on the back wall of the living room there is plenty of storage space and the utilities are new and clean .

The  wall light and velux roof window in the bedroom this is going to be so cosy in winter we want loads of strings of lights

This lake is more or less five hundred yards behind our new home we are allowed Pip our Jack Russell she is going to get her little legs walked off.

This is our roof standing in front of the lake great views compared to what we have now this is paradise.
Not sure why the chimney is painted grey.

The living room the L-shaped sofa will go we will get our own we already want to paint the joists black we will do in time , the damp patch will be sorted before we move in and re painted .

We hope to be sorted in a week two at the very most i cant wait we are both eager although this is small it will be a mansion to us and as for the garden well it goes on and on and on .
We are already making decisions as to what to buy and how to arrange the interior Holmfirth village is only a few miles away and is walkable but it its very uphill on the way back i think it be a case of walking there and getting a taxi back well maybe for the first few times .
